How to Inject Window into Angular 2.1.0

Question

In the earlier RC releases of Angular 2 I was able to inject the window object by adding

{provide: Window, useValue: window}

To the providers

Answer 1

Try with:

@NgModule({
  declarations: [...],
  imports: [...],
  providers: [
   { provide: "windowObject", useValue: window}
  ]
})

export class HomeModule {}

in your component:

constructor(@Inject("windowObject") window: Window})

Answer 2

In order for it to work with AOT you need to do useFactory instead of useValue:

export function windowFactory() {
  return window;
}

module:

providers: [
   { provide: 'window', useFactory: windowFactory }
]

component:

constructor(@Inject('window') window: Window})
